A synchronization workflow (sync workflow) is a set of synchronization steps (or synchronization operations) that define how to synchronize objects between two connected data systems. A sync workflow can comprise one or more synchronization steps. You can use the Administration Console, a component of , to configure as many sync workflows as needed.
You can configure a synchronization step to perform one of the following operations:
- Creation. Creates objects in the target connected data systems based on the changes made to specific objects in the source connected system. When creating a new object, assigns initial values to the object attributes based on the attribute population rules you have configured.
- Update. Changes the attributes of objects in the target connected data systems based on the changes made to specific objects in the source connected system. To define the objects that will participate in the update operation you can use object mapping rules. For more information, see Mapping objects.
- Deprovision. Modifies or removes objects in the target connected data systems after their counterparts have been disconnected from the source connected system. can be configured to remove objects permanently or change them to a specific state.
